At eleven o'clock the family went to bed and some time after, Mr. Otis was awakened by a strange noise in the corridor, outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal. Mr. Otis got up and looked at the time. It was exactly one o'clock. So Mr. Otis put on his slippers, went to the door and opened it. There, right in front of him, stood the ghost - his eyes were red; long grey hair fell over his shoulders and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy chains. “My dear Sir,” said Mr. Otis, “you must oil those chains. It's impossible to sleep with such a noise.” Shocked, the Canterville ghost stood quite motionless for a moment, but then he growled angrily. Just at this moment, the twins appeared on the corridor and threw a large pillow at him! When the ghost reached his small secret chamber, he took a deep breath. No ghosts in history had ever been treated in this manner!
